Even though you may be quarantined, there are so many things to do that you entertain yourself. You could get started on homework, complete a puzzle, FaceTime your friends or start a new hobby. One thing that pairs well with almost everything you can do when you’re in quarantine is listening to music!

Spotify, Apple Music and every other music streaming service is likely working overtime right now. I’ve made a Spotify playlist that has all of my favorite nostalgic classics because staying inside is the perfect opportunity to reminisce on the music of years past. I’ve listed a few of the songs from the playlist, so if you do not use Spotify, you could easily add them to your Queue!
